Alchemy of the Chakras: Energy-Based Meditation for Healing and Transformation

Note: This series will now be offered online. Sessions of all our online programs will be recorded and shared with registrants after each is completed for a limited time only.

One of the most powerful and complete avenues for awakening, healing, and transformation is chakra meditation practice. Central to the yoga tradition, chakras are spiritual, psychological, emotional energy centers that exist within the human subtle body.

In this weekly class, we will explore the unique purpose and function of each chakra, identifying any disharmony. Through experiential practices, that will reveal mantras, symbols, and archetypes associated with each energy center, we will purify the chakras into full radiant expression,

Join us and bring greater clarity and harmony to your inner and outer lives.
